Come along for an entertaining and informative experience at the Museum to learn about our native bats, before heading out with some bat detectors to Hammond Park. If you’re lucky, we’ll hear the bats as they leave their roosts to hunt for their evening snack. We'll also explore the boardwalk and keep our eyes open for other nocturnal animals such as glow-worms, eels and more.
